RAILROAD MATrERs.-Th news is too
true. The Northern and Union Pacific
railroads have combined upon adiyision
of territory with Snake river as the
dead line. This is only temporary how
ever, as Willard is fully resolved that the
Northern Pacific shall be the first road
to tap the Clearwater country. Our
boom has yet to come. but we shall be-
better able to stand it and keep 10 md
when it does come through its loog
delay in arriving.

OUR RuIT CRoP. The present wear
OF grace has blessed Camas prairie with
more abundant yield of fruit than
usual. al though this is perhaps attrib-
utable more to the fact that great
number pf young orchards are bearing
for the first time, than to any unusually
favorable climatic conditions. The
older or richards have yielded steadily.
with the exception of occasional of
years." and experience teaches us that
the older they get the more reliable is
the annual yield. A great many peo-
pie think that the altitude of this prai-
rle-3,OOO feet above sea LEVELS too
great Tor the successful production of
irult, but experience proves that fruit
OF all kinds grows to perfection here,
and with flavor unexcelled in warmer
climes. Strawberries, cherries, apples,
peaches, plums and pears grow as regu-
larly as any other staple production of
this region. Our climate is not as cold
as the outside world believes. This we
attribute TO the fact that Camas prairie
is situate between the deep canyons of
the Salmon and Clearwater rivers.
which are only thirty miles apart, the
warm air of which ascends to and modi.
fies the temperature of the thin rarified
atmosphere which prevails in the loftier
elevation of the prairie. At least, this
is our theory about it. and if anybodv
can suggest an equally plausible one
we SHOULD be glad to hear of it.

SHEEP. We are informed that several
farmers pn Camas prairie have bought
a few head of sheep this summer and
expect to find them profitable invest
ment. In our opinion they have used
excellent judgment in so doing, and set
an example that could be proftably
followed by all. With reasonable care,
the money returns from few sheep
kept on the ranch will prove valuable
help to the struggling farmer, and will
eventually make him rich. 1t is a de-
monstrate ed fact that few sheep will,
with reasonable care. pay fifty per cent.
per year on the original investment,
with the increase added, which no
other form of investment within our
knowledge will do. Large flocks, run
ming on q range, are subject to loss by
epidemic disease and exposure, and are
seldom profitable. The road to wealth
through sheep-farming lies in small
number kept on the farm. A few of
these profitable and cleanly animals
ought to be on every farm, because they
need very little care and can be kept
on the raach with only an occasional
change of pasture, and without the ne
cessity OF rounding them up, while the
proceeds from the sales of wool and
increase will soon pay off that mort
gage. They need no expensive iron
clad-note machinery to harvest their
wool, and the product is one which
will always pay to haul, and command
good prize The wheat fields in these
parts would pay the farmer better il
converted into sheep-pastures.

A SAD stony about Sara Jewett, the
once famous and popular actress, is made
public by the New York Sun, or rather
by the circumstance of the lady's appli-
cation to the actors fund for some sort of
aid. 1t has long been known by the
friends of the lady and to theatrical man
ayers that she was in a poor condition of
health, and that she had become rather
erratic in business matters. This was at
tributed to several causes; the Sun at
tributes it to opium. Miss Jcwett was a
discovery of the Union square theatcr
when A. NJ. Palmer managed it; and her
success was confined to her connection
with that theater. Her reputation was
made there and she did not add to it
after leaving that management. She
was very beautiful and had a fine ply
sique and graceful carriage; yet, alter
all, it was the management that made
her a successful actress,

The Laramie Boomerang grows pleas
antly fAcetious when it says: "A young
man of temperate habits, who was iani-
tor of a church and a newspaper Office In
the Magic City, was seen to enter a BUSH
ness place on Wednesday evening of last
week and purchase five cigars, since which
time he has not been heard of, and his
whereabouts since that evening have been
shrouded in mystery. Such is the re.
markable story of a Sun reporter. There
are several contradictory points in the
item, the explanation of which would,
perhaps, lift the veil of mystery and lead
to libel suit on the part of the merchant
who sold the cigars. 1t is singular that
the young man could have been ~janitor of
a church and a newspaper Office at the
same time, without the discovery that he
was leading a double life, like Kissane.
Again, if he was a temperate young man,
why should he venture out OF a evening
In Cheyenne, and above all go to a bust
ness place, where it is asserted that he
was seen, to buy so large a quantity of
cigars. Being out in the evening and
buying the cigars are two damaging
statements against the theory of his tenn
perate habits. and in keeping with the
theory that he was leading a strange dou-
BILE life. True there is no testimony to
show that he paid for the cigars. That
would solve the mystery at once. = y
Still, with some of the hints thrown out
above, it is possible that-but, Hah we
have it-he wa a carpenter by trade. He
is walking across the range to get a Job in
Laramie, and the cigars were purchased
to draw him up the hill on the other
side -
